From the article: Supplements for Crohn's Disease
Many people with digestive disease try various therapies aside from prescription medication to treat their symptoms. Complementary and alternative medicine for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has gained popularity over the years, and there is research that some therapies might yield new treatments in the future. Have you tried any complementary and alternative therapies for your IBD? Share your experience here! What Have You Tried?
Alternative med not worked
- I have tried alternative meds like homeopath and ayurveda but it didn't help me. Now I believe it's all about luck and timing ,like when UC is flare-up nothing works from restricted diet to allopathic med to relaxing therapies and any other alernative therapy. So, for maintaining remission, following a strict healthy diet, talking about mental and physical stress to keep it away from your life. Add curd with "live culture"in diet, I found it very effective.

- I tried acupuncture & it calmed my gut so the cramping was not as bad, but then I had more accidents. Now I am trying raw vegan diet w juicing & it is working much better than the meds were. Recommend Hallelujah Acres Diet. Great web site.

Tried alternative med 4 IBD but no help
- My friend tried about every alternative therapy under the sun, but what worked best in the end was controlling her diet very strictly. (I believe she was also on prescription meds for IBD.)
